Therapists in New York

I offer my clients a nonjudgmental space where they can explore their feelings, learn more about themselves, and continue to grow. Life can often be challenging, and I like to help others feel confident in their ability to get through those tough times. I have training in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy. Every person is unique, and I collaborate with each client to develop a plan that is tailored to them.

I commend you for making it this far and taking that courageous initial step towards seeking support in your quest to become the best version of yourself. Do you long for someone to confide in, someone who makes you feel completely at ease and judgment-free, helping you emerge stronger? Initiating therapy can be daunting, but as your therapist, my commitment is to create a comfortable environment and empower you to reach your personal best. My goal is to instill confidence in your ability to handle life's challenges.

Anxiety, depression, guilt, childhood trauma, unresolved experiences of loss, abandonment, or betrayal, are only a few possible explanations for what may stand in your way of achieving a sense of self-fulfillment, satisfying relationships, and a sense of security. Through psychotherapy, you can gain a better understanding of the underlying issues which compromise your ability to get what you need and optimally use your potential. These issues can be effectively worked through to ease their grip over your emotional well being and enable you to gain better control over your life by making better choices.

I offer therapeutic services to diverse populations, with a specialization in therapy for adolescents, young adults, and those with neurodevelopmental needs. My experience includes three years working directly with the neurodivergent community, and helping adolescents with anxiety, depression, substance use, behavioral issues, self-esteem, and relationships. Additionally, I enjoy working with young adults and adults as they navigate life transitions and mental health challenges impacting their daily lives.

For nearly 20 years I have had the enormous privilege of working with children in both private practice and in a school for children with special needs. While encouraging each child’s unique strengths, I help work through such struggles as feelings of insecurity, managing anger, developing self-confidence, and navigating relationships with family, friends, and teachers. I have extensive experience working with children with language-based learning challenges, attentional difficulties, and autism spectrum symptoms. I aim to provide an atmosphere of warmth, attunement, and empathy. Building a trusting alliance is always my first step.

My ideal client has a clear desire to increase insight, engage in problem solving, and make beneficial life changes. This may take the form of behavioral changes, changes in thinking, changes in behavioral choices, or changes in relationship patterns.

The only constant in life is change" is one of those sayings that travel throughout time. This is because changes are going to happen: good, bad or indifferent. The question is how prepared are you to deal with these changes? How well do you deal with any stressors in your life? Mental Health Counseling has become a necessity as day to day life becomes more stressful and the stigma of needing counseling starts to dissipate. What Ginai Prosper wants to do is help with adjusting to those changes in your life. It is important to live your life to the best of your ability, especially since you only have one.

Are you a Queer adult experiencing difficulty with navigating life transitions such as exiting a relationship, graduating from college, or changing careers? Are you struggling to address frustrating patterns that seem to keep turning up? Do these experiences leave you feeling shame, unsure of yourself, and lost? I get it! I am prepared to support you with shifting away from fear of failure, patterns of negative self-talk, and limiting beliefs and toward developing the insight and strategies needed to manage difficult emotions, overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, and connect to your power and potential.

Change, growth, and healing are possible for everyone. Using a warm, interactive approach we'll listen to your feelings and thoughts to discover what you need and want in order to feel more alive, fulfilled, and freer to know yourself, be yourself, and express yourself. We'll find the practical strategies and the deeper understanding that will help you to shift patterns of behavior and thought, and sort out relationships. Even when conflict and confusion, sadness, anger, fragmentation, loneliness, fear, stuckness (or any other feeling) seems ever-present, we can heal and change.

I believe we're all looking for the same thing: to be heard and understood. My approach is rooted in relational therapy, emphasizing the development of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing. I advocate for a focus on the human experience over pathologizing mental health and understand that cultural differences, societal pressures, and life's inherent chaos impact our mental well-being in profound ways. While I do have a clinical side and apply therapeutic modalities, my priority isn’t stamping a diagnosis on you and calling it a day; it’s all about truly standing by the power of the therapy bond.

I am a dedicated, caring and experienced psychotherapist. I will help you understand the nature of your problems and the wide array of treatment options available. My goal is to help you overcome any psychological difficulties, leading to better understand yourself and enhance your happiness. I approach each patient in a holistic, caring and non-judgmental manner. Together we will identify and apply the right treatment. I bring a special combination of warmth and intellect into your treatment.

You deserve a life that feels good. We know that even good relationships can get stuck in unhealthy patterns. Do you find that when you are trying to connect with your partner you end up in a cycle of communication that's not helpful or productive? Do you retreat and silence it until next time? There is always next time… Maybe this time they will understand…we become louder in hopes they see how hurt we are.The more we aren't seen and heard the more resentful we become. The explosions become more significant and the intimacy ceases, now you are just resentful roommates.— It doesn't have to be this way.

I help people to become more aware of their emotions and ways of thinking about concerns and problems that impact them in daily life. I believe that awareness leads to a better understanding which enhances coping skills. I am also interested in how an individual is impacted emotionally by their environment and social context. People who work with me comment on my being authentic and genuine, willing to engage and challenge as necessary.

Working on important relationships— whether together or apart— can be an incredibly rewarding journey. We’ll start where you are and what brought you to this point, including what you’ve tried so far. Then, we will look more closely for both default choices that create patterns of ineffective dynamics and responses, as well as successful moments where you are able to make effective decisions about how you want to respond to a person or situation. This will involve looking at all kinds of habits: behavioral, mental, interpersonal. Enter: the power of choice.

I am grounded in the belief that we have the intrinsic capacity to heal. I am committed to supporting the development of compassion, wakefulness, and ease, in response to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma. As a trained yoga teacher and practicing Zen Buddhist, I view physical/spiritual health, mindfulness practice, and engagement with philosophical inquiry to be the pillars for emotional well-being. With a robust background as a playwright, I draw on my writing practice and the innate creativity of my clients as guides along the healing journey.
